Paula Deen’s Getting Fired From Everything

When we last left Paula Deen before bailing for the weekend, her company released a statement literally reminding everyone that Paula Deen is very old and from the South, so it’s really not her fault she’s a tad racisty. She also bailed on Matt Lauer and then began a very public tailspin in which she released a bizarre series of apology videos (after the jump) that started out as so blatantly scripted by a publicist you can literally see the edits when Paula flubbed the lines she was supposed to memorize to an off-the-cuff, unscripted Paula who wants you to bring her your darkies, your Jews and even your gays for she shall love them like no one has ever loved them before in her warm, buttery embrace. And just to demonstrate how well these went over, The Food Network not only fired Paula Deen but specifically cited the videos as the reason for it. TMZ reports:

According to our sources, her management’s clumsy damage control — backing out of the Matt Lauer interview and releasing multiple lame mea culpas — was the primary reason the Food Network pulled the plug on the celebrity chef.
We’re told the apology videos were the last straw — clinching the Food Network’s decision to drop the ax on her.

On top of that, QVC is slowly backing away from her, and Random House is contemplating pulling her upcoming cook book. Naturally, this has caused anger and confusion amongst Paula’s fans and Internet racists who think white people should be allowed to call black people niggers without fear of reprisal. So for those people, I’ve compiled a handy guide to help you navigate these deep-fried times:

How’s come they gotta fire poor ol’ Paula Deen just for saying “nigger” when y’all know she can’t help being from the South?

Well, for starters, this situation isn’t really about Paula Deen admitting to saying “nigger” in a court deposition. It’s about her unwittingly revealing her restaurant’s practice of discriminating against black employees. From paying them less, making them use a separate restroom, calling them “my little monkey,” letting her co-owner brother tell them they “have no civil rights here” and openly wishing she could decorate his wedding with “tap dancing niggers.” All of which I understand harkens back to a simpler, more regal time before the North made you stop owning people like property, but it did and you’ve had plenty time to get over it, so suck it up, Jethro.

Whatever happened to f’eedom a speech?!

Did Paula Deen go to jail for saying the word “nigger?” Welcome to the end of this transaction. Also, take note, that she isn’t being punished by the government, but instead the free market through precious job creators whose penises we must suckle tenderly and often lest America fall into the hands of Satan.

Black people call each other “nigger” all the time, why can’t white folk call ‘em that?

Get spayed or neutered. Today.

Paula Deen’s just bein’ truthful and showin’ character. Shouldn’t we applaud her for not being you one of PC liberal phonies?

Here are three videos of Paula Deen tossing her “principles” out the window so fast, that I will genuinely be amazed if there’s not a fourth of her shitting on the Confederate flag while swearing allegiance to The Lord of Light. “For the night is dark and full of terrors, sugar.” *lights stick of butter on fire*

Paula Deen Apology Video 1:

This was one was pulled from YouTube in less than an hour. I can’t imagine why.

The problem, of course, is that to understand the real reasons the Queen of Budda (y’all) got canned (tubbed?) would require actual thought and processing of information. It’s much easier for the dipshits to simply say she got fired for uttering a bad word 30 years ago. Which would be ridiculous.

I agree with you. Since she was raised in the South, and I’m sure had many black friends/employees, therefore the conversations would be as relaxed as anyone would be with any friend. Be it under duress or friendly talk, what difference does it make. What happened to freedom of speech people? Blacks call themselves the N word like crazy! Italians were called ‘ginnies’ Puerto Ricans were called ‘spicks’ . why does anyone have to treat blacks any different?

First of all that N word doesn’t have any relation to black people God made us all the same, who are you to say what I am I have a name and it’s not the N word, go and educate yourself and learn the real meaning of the N word, and Paula Deen is a raciest she has been getting by for a long time by treating people badly because they are not anglo’s like her and she’s crying because she see’s that every anglo person is not raciest. I thought age came with wisdom but not everyone she needs Jesus and get a life!!!!!!!!

Freedom of speech only protects you from being censored by the government.

What you’re witnessing is other Americans’ freedom of speech in reaction to Paula Deen’s fully exercised and intact freedom of speech. It’s a very simple concept, but I have some puppets in the back if that will help.

why dont you get informed. Do you have any idea how many blacks are on air at FN…That and only that is why they fired her. They were scarred to death they would look like they were racist if they kept her because the dont hire blacks……Theyve got you right were they want you!!!! pitiful

No, what’s pitiful is that your badly reasoned and painfully illiterate little missive is a reminder that morons like you not only reproduce, you vote. I can only pray that something shiny will continually distract you from doing both.

I wish people would stop saying “But she’s from the South.” I’m really weary of this idea that every person who doesn’t live in New York or LA is a racist idiot named Jethro. There are dumbasses everywhere, people. Don’t put this crap on us, her attitude and general worthlessness are not due to where she’s from but rather due to who and what she IS.

Im heading down to North Carolina on Wednesday, in the heart of hickville at a beach town on the outskirts of Wilmington, NC, so that should be interesting.
I heard its like Myrtle Beach aka The Redneck Riviera

Average Guy, you wish – that’s a really comforting illusion that because racism might be more overt in the South, that’s the only place it exists. It’s alive and well in New York and New England, and it’s sure as shit present in California, where I heard my district manager, who was of my generation, refer to a client by the n-word, and then try to laugh it off when I called him on it. You ought to check out some of the comments on Deen’s FB page, because her supporters, justifiers and apologists are NOT all from the South.

It’s like people forget Ohio even exists when mentioning backwards rednecks. I had a man hand me a business card recruiting for the KKK when I lived in Ohio. Just stopped for gas and the guy wanders up and says he has an opportunity for me. Or that the Neo-Nazi party romps around loudly and litigiously in Illinois. Nope, those mess up the narrative.

Not sure how active they are there now, but Indiana used to be the real KKK stronghold (even to running candidates for President), and it was plenty active in Michigan (and not just in the Motor City, either) as well as Colorado and Oregon. Most people have no idea, and assume burning crosses and wearing sheets stop at the Mason Dixon line.

I grew up in Massachusetts, about 25 miles outside of Worcester where the Klan was wicked popular before WWII. It died out there, but not because people decried its racist stance against blacks – it’s because the Klan also hates The Church and MA’s political machine at the time was predominantly Irish Catholic.

Actually, as someone who has lived in the south a long time, I here more racism from everyone when I travel north of the mason dixon line. Just like the NY, where the F bomb is part of everyday communication.

When she was raised back in the 60’s, “nigger” was a very common word in the south and youngsters were brought up thinking it was the correct term for people with black skin. So in a way that is a valid argument. Frankly, though, losing her career over an utterance she made 30 years ago, seems to me to be way too severe of a punishment. Sounds like they wanted to be rid of her anyway and this serendipitously fell into place.

Ummm, no, actually, I’m not. Latin wasn’t exactly widely spoken in the New World. While lots of people could read/write it, it wasn’t a spoken language. Spanish, Portuguese, French, yes. And of course Dutch in New Amsterdam which became New York. And in North America the word that became “nigger” first started from the common Dutch use of “neger”.

What’s he trying to say is that he can’t read a wiki entry and that variants of “negro”, meaning “black” in several Latin-based languages, migrated to English to describe blacks, more specifically African slaves. Since slaves in the southern colonies weren’t traded in the US, but bought in the West Indies well until the mid-1700’s, you can see how that term migrates to the US. FYI, the Dutch variant of “neger” that specifically refers to blacks/slaves also probably came that route as well, since “zwart”, rather than “neger”, was actually the common term for “black” in the 17th century when referring to the color.

Also, the term become a pejorative long before the 1900’s – don’t depend so heavily on wiki for the “truth”. The fact that it was applied without discrimination to blacks, Indians, Mexicans, French-Canadians means that it was meant to apply to anyone not a lily-white Anglo Saxon; i.e. it was a discriminatory term.

Fatty McButter is the type of person who claims she’s not racist because she doesn’t swerve to intentionally run over black people so it’s okay to hit them when they are directly in front of you.
She’s fat enough for the Superficial to gush over her bikini pics, tho.

Sweet Jesus, Apology video 1 was a ye olde good laugh! So when A redneck feels shame(loss of $) your face becomes pink as your hideous pink clothes? Love the stuttering in a southern accent about blacks, religion and gays.

I find it interesting that White Folks who say they Hate The Word so much,don’t seem to put up much of a fight when they hear Black Folks using it. If you truly believe that the word shouldn’t be used,then maybe not automatically assuming that All Blacks are comfortable with other Blacks using it would help. I often find that a lot of Whites who make the “Double Standard” argument are not upset that Blacks use it,but more upset that they can’t! If more Whites would show anger against ANYONE using the word,than maybe it wouldn’t be so common. By using the”it’s okay if Blacks say it” argument,it just makes it worse.

Yeah if you go on yahoo articles – the racist ignorant comments are all like “rap people say it!”. Cause I’m sure that they speak for an entire race of people, right? Idiots. I’ve been writing back – think of it as the word “bitch”. You may think it’s funny to call your friend that but if someone says it out of anger or hate, it takes on a WHOLE different meaning.

This site is a POS now… Just received a notice that comments are now being approved by Admin before posting for public view, even AFTER “signing in to comment” like an obedient little lemming. This is the first time this has happened (at least to me)…and it seems to be in response to me trying to post the links to the actual deposition and the complaint on this matter. If this is how it’s going to be from now on, f*ck this sh*t.

I hope she is held up as a shining example of what happens when you bend over allow political correctness to take you from behind! She came crawling back, hat in hand, begging for forgiveness and she is still crucified.

If I was famous and somebody dug up some dirt from my past (of which there is plenty) – I’d just own it. My apology video would be “that was then – this is now – deal with it or suck me”

Yeah – I’d be out of a job for sure. But at least I’d have my dignity.

This poor women groveled and is still spit on by public opinion. All you casters of the first stone should be ashamed of yourselves. As if *YOUR* life is so f-in perfect….

Well, my life isn’t perfect, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never talked about wanting to “dress up some tap-dancing n****ers like slaves” for my party. I also haven’t blatantly discriminated against black workers either. I guess you can’t say the same?

Something tells me your “that was then – this is now” wouldn’t be true, cause you certainly sound like you are exactly the same as you were back then.

Nice attempt at spin by trying to claim this took place in her “past” – like she was some sort of reckless juvenile n-word user who just now got outed because some nasty old media crusader dug up dirt on her misspent youth. This “poor woman” and her brother are being sued for discriminatory and harassing workplace conditions that happened within the past few years – and the lawsuit was brought by one of her white employees, so you can get off that PC-victimzation high hobbyhorse you’re riding any time now.

As for the unending repentance parade of videos – fucking spare me your hand-wringing as to how she’s being treated so badly when all she wants to do is apologize. Being truly sorry for something you did, and being sorry you got caught doing it, are two very different things. The only thing she’s sorry about here is that her showcases are dumping her and that it’s gonna impact on her financially, and you can see exactly how much she values her “dignity” (by which I assume you mean standing up for her racist views) when it comes to losing her bottom line. Get a fucking clue: she’s upset that people are offended enough to dump her, but she’s not sorry she has a deplorable racist mindset – and there is a distinction.

The fact that she stated in the same breath that she knew the public wouldn’t approve of her dream slave-theme wedding means that she actually DID know that her viewpoint wasn’t acceptable, but looking at why that is, and questioning the belief that black people aren’t put on earth to be inferior to her obviously never happened, since she didn’t give enough of a shit to do anything about the discriminatory practices that were going on in her restaurant.
